It&amp;#39;s easy, and kind of fun (for kitchen and food junkies like moi):\nStrained Yogurt Dip\nRecipe courtesy of The New York Times\n*Ingredients:\n*2 cups low-fat plain yogurt\nFor mix-ins: You can choose to use minced fresh herbs and garlic (and a little kosher salt) or spices, such as cumin, curry powder, etc.\nPreparation:\nLine a strainer with a double thickness of cheesecloth (P.S. I&amp;#39;ve used paper towels in a pinch) and set it over a bowl. Place the yogurt in the strainer, and refrigerate for at least two hours (preferably four hours or longer).
